Sorry to be late with this post, Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans, but work has kicked my butt over the past few days, leaving me little time to post the Weekly Update.

Just the place I need to unwind after a horrifying
day at work!

And the
Halloween 2018 is filling up fast. If you're looking for a corn maze, haunted maze or haunted attraction, you'll find a wonderful selection of frightfully fun events for all ages on that page, and MORE IS COMING. Keep checking back!!

Well, I'm off to do some research (okay, it's an excuse for watching awesome scary movies) for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival, which happens this weekend in Portland, OR (and if you're there, look for the guy in the black kilt and Cthulhu tee shirt and say hi), so I have to sign off for now.
